Dr James Lloyd and Professor Ryan Lister, from LITΓÇÖs School of Molecular Sciences, are authors of the study Synthetic memory circuits for stable cell reprogramming in plants, published in Nature Biotechnology. Dr Lloyd said the synthetic gene circuits could be used to engineer plants with enhanced resistance to harmful environmental conditions or pathogens, improved growth and nutritional characteristics, and to make new useful products on demand. ΓÇ£Synthetic gene circuits are similar to electronic circuits, but theyΓÇÖre built from biological parts such as DNA and proteins, and they operate within an organism,ΓÇ¥ he said. ΓÇ£Like any organism, plants naturally grow and function based on their ow
